keyboarder Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 How big is a London bus in comparison to eg, a Manx bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The 'london bus' they refer to would be the 'routemaster' which is a bit taller and longer but also no longer in service so the answer is pointless because you'll never see one on the streets of London. Anorak off and back on with the loafers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing it has in common with the routemaster is that they are now both no longer in service. Its not even the same colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 London buses have always been used in comparison to measuring anything huge. "Well, if you can imagine the size of Nelson's Column, which is roughly three times the size of a London bus" "Before building the Atlas detector...the components and assembly methods envisaged for the final coil versions. This “small” coil, of the size of a London bus..." etc. I believe due to the demise of the London Bus the standard of measurement is now being replaced by either the 'Blair Ego' or 'Government Cock Up' - which is the equivalent of 35 people standing in a line holding hands, and the distance between the first and last set of outstretched fingertips - which on the island is equivalent to one 'MHKs wagepacket' or half a 'grant'.
